I have an antique Gold Elgin Pocket Watch. Would you be able to service this please?

I marked and cut small slots in the edge to allow the pusher posts and crown tube to drop down. then I used my crystal press (with flat aluminum die) to press the FACE of the watch down into the outer case body.
With the nylon die underneath, the inner case dropped down and out of the outer case.
The o-ring between these cases was dry and damaged. so new one will be used when they are re-mated together.
Cheers
Bill
